1 By: Krysta Halladay and Naisha Silva

2  When soil, rocks, and minerals change physical or chemical processes.  Depending on soil- forming factors, weathering can proceed rapidly.

3  Parent material- Made of rocks and minerals. When all of the four other soil forming factors, it is weathered into smaller particles forming soil.  Climate- Temperatures affect how soil is formed.  Living organisms- Most abundant living thing in soil.  Topography- Variations affect moisture and temperature.  Time- Soil ages and heads towards equilibrium.

4  Erosion is the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as: water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity.  Erosion happens more quickly on bare rocks because of it being unprotected by soil.  There are 3 types of erosion: Coastal, Glacial, and Wind.

Weathering:  The natural process by which atmosphere and environmental forces, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose.
